The P and S waves were merged into one long rolling motion. HAd to grab the TV to keep it from falling over - haven’t anything rock our place like that in years... Live out buy Russian Jack, the soil is mostly gravel.

Glad the power stayed on, it was below zero and getting colder....

Sure did....at work in west Anchorage. A little hint as I walked to my desk, lots of folks saying, “Did you feel that”? Just sat down and the monitors on my desk really started dancing. It was sort of rolling....different.

At home, east Anchorage...nothing fell down.

Of course not.

I worked the summer of ‘65 on an offshore rig at Trading Bay and the devastation a year later was still pretty extensive. The only tall building still allowed occupancy was the hotel (can’t remember the name...Captain Cook?) downtown with the Crow’s Nest bar at the top.

Worked 21 days straight for a day-and-a-half off in Anchorage. I doubt OSHA work rules would allow that today.

I have never been in an earthquake but I am sure that it must be an unsettling feeling to know that the earth below you is not as secure as one might think it should be.

I was driving on the Parks, probably around Big Lake Rd from the time they gave. Didn’t feel a thing. My son said it was good shake at the house, although my wife didn’t feel a thing (but then she never feels them.) My mother in Ninilchik said it was the best shake she has felt in quite a while.
